Siegfall, Waterfall in Windeck, Germany.

The Siegfall waterfall spans 84 meters in width and drops 6 meters, making it the largest waterfall in North Rhine-Westphalia along the Sieg River.

Between 1857 and 1859, the construction of the Deutz-Giessen railway line required modifications to the Sieg River, resulting in the creation of this artificial waterfall.

The former Elmore's Works industrial site near the waterfall now houses the kabelmetal cultural center, which serves as a regional venue for exhibitions and events.

The waterfall is accessible within walking distance from Schladern train station, with parking facilities and bus stops available for visitors near Schönecker Weg.

A hydroelectric power plant at the waterfall, established during the industrial era, continues to generate electricity for the local area to this day.
